The Entry Point program, which has already trained more than 300 people in 2021, opens a new class focused on diversity and minority inclusion
THE BRQ Digital Solutions, the market leader in digital transformation, is accepting applications for a new class of its Entry Point Training Program. There are 40 vacancies for training in Java exclusively for black people who are attending or are trained in courses related to technology.
The program, 100% online and free, offers 80 hours learning path with technical training, mentoring, development of behavioral skills and continuous feedback. The best students will be hired by BRQ itself at the end of the project, using the Anywhere Office model (office anywhere).
According to a survey by the Black Powers Tec carried out at the end of 2021 with 2,693 black people, 59% of them do not work in the technology area, but are interested in working in it. These numbers reinforce the importance of BRQ's commitment to fighting racial inequality in the labor market.
“We are concerned with investing in the training of talent, valuing the ethnic and racial diversity of our country. We know how much the market needs training – according to Brasscom, there will be a demand for 800,000 professionals in technology by 2025 – that is why we have opened tech training classes exclusively for minorities in order to contribute to equal opportunities in one of the fastest growing markets in the world”, explains the CEO and founder of the company, Benjamin Quadros.
This is the third group in the training program that values social inclusion. Last year the company formed a class of 40 women in Java and in 2022, started the pilot of the “Dev Mangaratiba”. Expected to end in June, it is training 10 low-income young people living in the city of Rio de Janeiro. They received scholarships and have a living allowance. In all, since the beginning of 2021, Entry Point has trained 380 people.
“In 2022, our goal is to open 20 training classes in various languages and tech tools, such as Salesforce, Angular, Java, Big Data and others. We hope to train 1000 people for the job market and thus collaborate to reduce the deficit of professionals in technology. And at least 500 of them will be hired by BRQ itself”, comments Carolina Piombo, CPO of BRQ Digital Solutions.
To participate in the selection process, you must be attending or have graduated in courses related to technology, have good knowledge in programming logic and availability to participate in remote classes. Candidates go through a blind selection process with the startup Jobecam and the 40 selected will start training on 05/02. At registrations until the 26/04.
